Pro bono employment lawyer needed for Pradeep's case in Western

Legal aid is overbooked; a few hours of professional help would change the outcome for Pradeep.

I'm facing a debt-collection lawsuit I believe is invalid, with a hearing on May. I earn too much to qualify for legal aid on paper, but not nearly enough to pay a lawyer's retainer. I'm looking for a qualified employment lawyer licensed in Western who might be able to review my documents, prepare me for the hearing, or take the case pro bono or on a reduced fee. I've organized my documents chronologically, and I'll share them with the lawyer who agrees to help. I can travel to your office in Colombo or meet online. I understand that the time of a lawyer is valuable, and I'm deeply grateful for any help or for suggestions of organizations that could assist. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    You're not alone, Pradeep. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

      Stay strong, Pradeep. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Colombo.
